I think that\u2019s the crux of what I do: I think about the tangible impact that I\u2019m making in students\u2019 lives. I want to empower students to write into existence the world they want to see; I want them to really feel like they\u2019re agents of change when they leave my class.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>When are your office hours?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My office hours are on Tuesdays from 2:00-3:00 pm and Thursdays from 2:00-4:00 pm, and by appointment any other time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are you currently reading, if anything?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a great question. A mentor once told me that academics should never stop reading for pleasure&#8211;that we have to remind ourselves why we&#8217;re here. Right now I am reading a book called <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Fifth-Season-Broken-Earth\/dp\/0316229296\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1476748334&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=the+fifth+season\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Fift<\/a><\/em><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Fifth-Season-Broken-Earth\/dp\/0316229296\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1476748334&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=the+fifth+season\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">h Season<\/a><\/em> by the author N. K. Jemisin, who is a black feminist speculative fiction writer. I\u2019ve also been reading Michelle Alexander&#8217;s<em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/New-Jim-Crow-Incarceration-Colorblindness\/dp\/1595586431\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1476748378&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=the+new+jim+crow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New Jim Crow<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>which talks about mass incarceration and how that plays into our particular history of racial injustice in the U.S.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>What is a text that you think everyone should read?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There is a book that I\u2019ve taught both in my rhetoric courses and in some of my Women\u2019s Studies courses&#8211;Allan Johnson&#8217;s <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Privilege-Power-Difference-Allan-Johnson\/dp\/0072874899\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1476748408&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=privilege+power+and+difference\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Privilege, Power, and Difference<\/a><\/em>. I started teaching from this book so that students would have a common language to talk about difference, which is so important because so many of us have a hard time talking about identity without getting defensive. Students&#8217; responses to the book surprised me; they loved it. I think Johnson&#8217;s book was transformative for a lot of my students because it helped them realize that having privilege doesn&#8217;t make someone a &#8220;bad person&#8221;&#8211;and that students could actually leverage their privilege for justice. Like my students, I think so many of us want to talk about things that are difficult but feel we don\u2019t have the language&#8211;or we\u2019re worried we\u2019re going to mess it up. So yeah&#8230; I would recommend this book, because my students recommend it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your biggest pet peeve in the classroom, or a big mistake that students tend to make?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know that I have &#8220;pet peeves,&#8221; per se, and I think that\u2019s because I remember being a quasi-first-gen college student, who was super busy and working several jobs while attending class. I&#8217;m keenly aware that I wasn&#8217;t the perfect student, and I try to remember (especially now that I&#8217;m a professor) how stressful college can be. So I suppose I want to encourage students to talk to their professors when they\u2019re struggling. Sometimes, I think students feel shy and worry about \u201cbothering\u201d us, but we\u2019re not bothered. We\u2019re here, and we really want to help.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you working on any projects at the moment?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Oh, indeed. So, I do work at the intersections of gender, sexuality, and rhetoric: For example, I\u2019m working on a piece about trans bathroom bills, which we see popping up across the United States. I also just submitted a piece on how Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks (etc.) represent trans and gender non-conforming characters in animated films. That article was especially fun for me, because my students inspired me to write it. Students were doing a research project on trans youth, and when they couldn&#8217;t find many resources they said to me: &#8220;Why don&#8217;t you write about this, Dr. G?&#8221; And so I did.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are some of your hobbies or interests?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As you can tell from my office decor, I have this huge collection of Care Bears and Care Bear Cousins. I&#8217;m a huge fan of collecting things from when I grew up, which was in the late 70s and early 80s (a good time for toys but a really bad time for fashion). And, this might seem random, but I also make plushy dolls. I never make the same doll twice, and each one comes with their own short story.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is a piece of advice you would offer students?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I would absolutely recommend that students enroll in an immersive learning course or take part in an internship. If they can do both, that\u2019s amazing. We get hired not just for our degrees and credentials but also for being able to say: \u201cThis is a tangible thing that I\u2019ve done, and I&#8217;m really passionate about it. Here&#8217;s why&#8230;\u201d For instance, a student in my Transgender Rhetorics course interned at Heartland Transgender Wellness, where he created all these informational pamphlets for clients. So he was able to say: \u201cNot only am I educated about trans issues, but I\u2019ve also produced these community resources.\u201d So that\u2019s huge, and I think that\u2019s something that\u2019s changing. There was a time when you could just get a job right out of college, but now you\u2019re going to need to do an internship. You\u2019re going to need to tell a prospective employer: \u201cThese are the kinds of things I\u2019m already doing, and here&#8217;s how I can lend this skill-set for you.\u201d And my sense is that Ball State is doing an excellent job in preparing students for our changing job market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How would you describe your perspective on teaching?
